Sad reason behind Roos president's shock decision
North Melbourne president Dr Sonja Hood has deleted her X account after confirming she wants no part in the “revolting” abuse she has received.
Hood has been receiving negative messages online as the Kangaroos come under fire for their game style and poor 0-4 start to the season.
The messages and comments Hood has received on X, formerly Twitter, have driven her to remove herself completely from the online world.
9News Melbourne’s chief football reporter Tom Morris explained why the Kangaroos leader has been forced to delete her account.
“She has been forced to delete her Twitter account in the last couple of days simply because of the vile abuse she’s been copping,” Morris told Nine’s Footy Classified on Wednesday night.
“(She has received threats on) North Melbourne, the way they’re playing, people tagging her in tweets so they know she’s going to see them.
“This is a call she hasn’t made lightly, but this is a call she’s made simply because the abuse has been so vile towards her.”
